"How China can win a trade war in 1 move."-The Week, 6 April, 2018 Link: http://theweek.com/articles/765276/how-china-can-win-the-trade-war-in-1-move Quote: "It turns out that United States is almost entirely DEPENDENT on foreign suppliers for rare earth metals. In fact, China isnt just AMERICA*s major supplier of rare earth metals; its the REST of the GLOBE*S Major Supplier as well. In 2009, China began significantly CLAMPING down on its rare metals Exports...2014 World Trade Org spat with America, Japan and other countries on 1 side and China on the other side...forced to abandon its quotas. But it also shows China is willing to use its advantage in the rare earth metals to play hardball if its pushed far enough. And that*s why 1 of the main reasons observers are nervous." Read the rest. Comment: Rare earth metals are making NEWS as it is needed in tech etc. If one reads the Greenland Minerals & Energy Ltd Research Report, I recall that the massive KVANFJELD discovery is only the more surface deposit. Hence, why I recall that Midas or This is Money mentioning Sonora, Greenland and Yangibana [clay lithium and rare earths]. WH Ireland said that the Founder of REM made shrewd moves re: Sonora etc. These assets were under Rare Earth Minerals plc [REM]. However, early this year [2018] REM*s name changed to Cadence Minerals [KDNC]. Please check.

.San Luis Lithium, Argentine-New Lithium project [Rock]= New Strategy KDNC Link: www.cadenceminerals.com [Ref: Mar 2018 Presentation]. This project was 1st mentioned in Dec 2017 and Kiran Mozaria has also been on VOX recently to talk about this project. If you read the said presentation, the share price of KDNC is underpinned by the Mark to Market listed securities eg Bacanora Minerals [7%+] and European Minerals [20%area]. BNC*s mkt cap is around �123 million and EMH �28m+. KDNC acts like a fund ie if the underlying stock goes up, it goes up via the portfolio value. Hence, why it is/was classed and constituted as an investment co. So like most of these types of set-up, the share price trades either at a DISCOUNT to mark to mkt or PREMIUM or near. It is not usual to trade at a premium unless the asset is massive. Due to ALL the investors who have had Kiran Mozaria*s [CEO, KDNC] ear, one can see it was logical that they had to get a lithium project that would fit investor*s request to bring the share price up. So, they may be going in 100% into San Luis Lithium [Rock], Argentine. In the said presentation, it hints EV of $300m? In a sense, KDNC has moved on from the BCN deb... and possibly now moved on to a type of REM MARK 2 in Argentine. I am not privy to the New Strategy but it would seem like that from the said KDNC latest Mar 2018 Presentation. If investors are split over this stated New Strategy of KDNC to go into their own potential up to 100% lithium project, then it is up to everyone to go to the next meet to discuss it further. Only my perception from the said Presentation but I cannot say 100% for sure. Hence, why I am looking into San Luis Argentine via research. I have not managed to get everything as Latin Lithium is not advancing yet to further info.

@18:03 Answer: "Midas Share Tips: Rare Earth Minerals plc placed to benefit big demand for lithium."-Midas, This is Money, 18 Oct 2014. Link: www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/investing/article-2798421/midas-share-tips-rare-earth-minerals-placed-benefit-demand-lithium.html Quote: "Rare Earth Minerals plc is well placed to benefit from the trend. The co owns 1/3 of a new lithium project in Mexico, which as already DRILLED 3.3 millions tons of the metal EQUIVALENT TO 10% OF CURRENT ANNUAL SUPPLY WORLDWIDE. The price and value should increase from here. This is a attractive prospect for the adventurous investor." [Price in Midas tip=1p=�57m] Comment: Rare Earth Minerals plc [REM] was changed to Cadence Minerals plc [KDNC] early this year [2018]. REM came into being from a shell, Zest around the 2010 period from recall. Sonora Lithium, Mexico [BCN/REM] is a CLAY DEPOSIT. The only other clay deposit of note was in the USA. So clay is not common. Lithium in Argentine is brine based and it is fetching big no*s just for acreage and the territory of the bigger players. The KDNC play in Argentine is ROCK lithium and only 2 co*s are in the San Luis area ie Latin Lithium of Australia and Dark Horse Resources [Nicholas Mather DGR stable]. So Saudi of lithium may refer to Argentine "BRINE" if you read the article posted under this thread. To take 10% of CURRENT ANNUAL SUPPLY WORLDWIDE is significant. So, hard to compare BRINE Saudi with CLAY Saudi. If REM were to have been ?, then we would be in a different place today but I am not privy to the BCN/REM situ with His Lordship. On topic for KDNC as the former name was REM.

@earache 22:45, Fri 13 Apr 2018 You may be pleased to know that after MarketWatch, USA reported on EMH, Wall Street Journal, 1 hr later followed up with the same article but a different title: "Rocketing demand and prices for lithium, coupled with China*s stranglehold on supply, are reviving interest in Europe*s reserves of the metal." [Google title to check] I have also posted at the co that holds some 20% of EMH and it gives more infomation from another article. As for whether I am invested, I do not normally post on forums that I am not invested or interested in investing.

RESOURCE IN EUROPE ***- "European Metals confirms progress with Cinovec lithium deposit"-Proactive Investors 16.3.18 Quote: "..a new update to the project*s JORC...significantly that upgrade means that Cinovec ranks as the biggest lithium resource in Europe. Subsequently, the Cinovec South deposit has now been added to the Czech resource REGISTER, MARKING the 1ST STEP towards securing a mining PERMIT." Link: www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/193296/european-metals-confirms-progress-with-cinovec-lithium-deposit-193296.html Comment: After BCN, EMH is now making progress. Cant be bad to be the biggest lithium resource in Europe. On topic - KDNC holds stakes in BCN and EMH.

@19:43 Answer: I have just tracked down a broker note on Finders Resources of Australia, subject of a A 23c takeover and going through for A$178m. EuroOz broker report, 31 Oct 2017 stated: "FND has successfully negotiated its way thus far...but can be mitigated having a solid ownership structure and partnering with respected local investors." Comment: As Australia is closer to South East Asia, brokers are familiar with that part of the world. Every project is not risk free so that*s balance.

@19:12 According to the broker re: AsiaMet, they cite a M & A ie Finders Resources in Indo. That was subject to a takeover with the board recommending it. Finder*s Weter Copper Project, Indonesia ref: EFDL Takeover [Eastern Field] for Australian 23 cents. Currently, the share price for Finders is A 21c with a market cap of A$165.6 million. Link: https://findersresources/efdl-takeover/ Comment: Cant be bad if a similar project was taken over for >A$165.6 @A 23cents = �100m [+ -] JP Morgan has about 8.9% in AsiaMet and I gather so have other institutions per last raising. On-topic for ARS per current discussion.

@18:28, 13 April, 2018 Answer: The 1st link cited relates to COAL of which ARS is not involved in. Second & third link cited is from 2017 relating to FreeportMcMoran. Fast forward, matters have moved on: "Indonesia expects FreePort sale bank financing soon."-Seeking Alpha, 21 Mar 2018. Link: https://seekingalpha.com/news/3340708-indonesia-expects-freeport-sale-bank-financing-soon

@18:33 I cite from Italaw which is from the original legal documents on https://www.italaw.com/cases/1479 Sir, I would be grateful if you could point to which Court proceedings that showed: "The documents were forged by their own office and admitted it was in-house."? Thank you in anticipation.

@16:31, 13.4.18 Answer: Further to what I related, I have managed to track down a Proactive Investors*s article dated 7 Dec 2017 relating to Churchill Mining. Link: www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/170108/international-tribunal-throws-out-churchill-mining-s-damages-claim-against-republic-of-indonesia-170108. ICSID International Tribunal: it was down to a matter of "Forged Documents". "However, because Churhill*s DUE DILIGENCE investigations conducted at the time of acquiring the East Kutai Coal licences were INSUFFICIENT, it has dismissed the damaged application." On topic for ARS as the above matter was raised. Providing backup for what was earlier said.

16:31 Answer: Churchill Mining plc was raised as on-topic for ARS due to location. If you look at the Judgement, it is specifically down to a technical details ie auto signatures and its legal validity. It is common knowledge in law that auto signatures could not hold up in Court? The story is very complex there from the Court documents but in essence it dealt with a local area and from recall, it is now unified [mining admin etc]. Please check the details.

Sorry, correct link: https://www.businessnews.com.au/article/Greenland-Minerals-sitting-on-rare-earths-sleeping-giant Ref: Last post earlier.

ON RARE EARTHS SLEEPING GIANT."-BN Business News, Western Australia, 7.2.18 Preamble: Greenland Minerals & Energy Ltd is manoeuvring itself to be 1 of the world*s LARGEST supplier of rare earths outside of China. The co is looking to ride the clean energy wave with its ELEPHANT sized rare earth plays in Greenland and it has..." "Greenland boasts some TRULY MASSIVE IN-GROUND resources, offering up that wild frontier status that is so often irresistible to the Perth mining glitterati. One small cap ASX listed co seeking LARGE CAP STATUS on the back of its rare earths play is Greenland Minerals & Energy Ltd." "...that already has a lucrative looking Feasibility Study on the street...and it also boasts exquisite NON-REFACTORY Metallurgy that allows for a dramatic increase in Grade via relatively simple & inexpensive processing." "..the co has already managed to lasso a high end Chinese partner with a multi-billion dollar balance sheet and arguably the best rare earth processing knowledge on the planet." "All, however are dwarfed by the $4.5 billion Chinese goliath Shenghe who are LURKING purposefully at the top of a 8.3c Greenland*s share register." [KVANEFJELD, Greenland-Spit out free cash each year in the order of US$240 million at today*s rare earth prices and an EYE-WATERING US$376m at predicted future prices] - See article. Link: https://www.businessnews.com.au/article/Greenland-Minerals-sitting-on-rare-earth-sleeping-giant Comment: From the KDNC Mar 2018 Presentation [ www.cadenceminerals.com ] the mkt cap of the co is underpin by its mark to market listed securities/investments. EMH is currently the largest investment of some 20% area so the fall in their share price from 89p area to 19.5p area currently may affect the portfolio valuation. REM Greenland licence NEXT or close to KVANFJELD, Greenland was thrown in for FREE at that time. On the KDNC website re:Greenland, the co is watching Greenland Minerals & Energy Ltd [Australia] who owns Kvanfjeld. From recall, GGG did the initial work for REM, now KDNC. Only WH Ireland assigned a value for REM/KDNC Greenland at 0.13p [See KDNC Mar 2018 Presentation]. Currently, KDNC share price is 0.235p, mkt cap �19m approx so 0.13p vs 0.235p cant be bad for something that was free then under REM. Please check.
